My deepest and most heartfelt condolences to you. I know what it's like to lose a father. If your dad thought this was a great song, it tells me that he was a wonderful, and amazing father. You are lucky to have had him in your life, and I mourn with you at his loss. Remember him with love.
My son passed at the age of 25 ... this song feels like a hint of what ethereal music could be ... with gradual entry in 6/4 time, transitioning to 4/4 time, then returning to 6/4 time at the end with the words "its all I can do" ... the span of a life in this crazy world, and the reentry into eternity with calm and hypnotic waltz-like ease ... tears every time
Heard this at 11 years old for the first time. 46 years old now,and no song has given me the feel this song gives me everytime. There is nothing better or anything alike, well, maybe, The Blackout, it comes close. Love U2 4ever.
My brother and I drove from Denver to Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe AZ to see this show. And then a month later U2 came to Denver and we went to that show too. Both of those concerts were filmed for Rattle And Hum. How fortunate that we can relive both of those concerts for the rest of our lives. What are the odds?
Think you might have your dates backwards! Understandable, it's been over 35 years after all! The Denver segments for the film were shot Nov 7th and 8th 1987 at McNichols Arena. The Sun Devil Stadium segments were shot over a month later on Dec 19th and 20th and were the final shows on the Joshua Tree Tour.
I was at this show. I still have the ticket stub. $5.00 all admit. rain or shine. Right before Christmas 1987. Mr. BB King opened the show. Cool concert.
William. May 25 2018 Georgia. About 350 to be close enough to see them. Seen them in Hampton va in the 80 s paid like 30 bucks lol. What show moved me and touch my sole . Life long fan thanks
I know. People can't believe it when I saw them for $5! A few years ago I went and visited my daughter. She was wearing one of the t-shirts I bought at this concert. I don't think she knew the significance of the shirt. Brought a tear to my eye.
I experienced it live, was amazing...with the Red Background...will never forget with tears in my eyes when the Song started....still one of the best Songs
I was a junior in high school and this was my first BIG concert. When the song really kicks off and those huge, bright, white lights slammed into me, I thought it was the most powerful thing I’d ever seen. I still get a little misty when I think about this show, being with the girl that I loved, and all the promise that my life held. It’s amazing what music can do.
Bless you, brother, on this Dad's Day in 2023. My youngest son writes a little rap and has assembled a few tunes. He's real familiar with his pop's favorite tune of favorite band. Hard to believe he's 24 now, which makes it even harder to believe I'm 59.
No one IRL understands how epic this is. I love coming here and seeing the comments from my fellow U2 fans who get it, who feel it, like I do. I send my love to each of you, as you take flight to the place where our souls gather to sing, dance and play along. Namaste. 🙏💗
@@dawns.3000 Dawn, i just love the story of Streets, how they spent over half the total production time on this one tune, that they recorded the album in a house instead of traditional studio, that the timing of the intro was different from the rest of the song but then Edge built a bridge that made it work, a symbolic bridge of Peace, if you will. There's a snippet in the Making of Joshua Tree dvd where Edge is playing back some guitar parts, and his face lights up with a realization, he comments "that's cool because I really didn't know what I was doing there". I found that to be fascinating because he was just busy being himself, doing his thing, and had zero idea how his gifts would go out and touch millions of people. Cool, huh?
This tune is 35 years old in 2022 and I still feel goosebumps, the hair on the back of my neck, and misty-eyed…. all at the same time. The ultimate anthem rock song. Heaven on earth.
It's hard to name a more reliably and predictably joyful moment in rock concertdom, than that moment when you and the 50,000 people around you at a U2 show all realize at the same time that they're about to do this song, and you all start cheering. Powerful and beautiful.
U2 has been my favorite band since I first saw them in Boston in 1981 at the Paradise Club, and this is my favorite song. I use it for my wake up alarm on my iPhone. The gradual build up of the organ followed by Edge's ethereal guitar intro is a joy to wake up to every morning.
Can anybody explain to me how this song still has the same effect as the last several thousand times I have played this? It is almost like I have heard it for the first time, over and over again! This is when you know that music has transcended from sound to magic.
This song and particularly the live version on Rattle and Hum still makes the hairs on my whole body stand up my favourite song of all time. I think an honorable mention also for with or without you live at the same concert straight after the street's is also pretty amazing my favourite version of that song. I was 16 year's old and seen it 4 times at the cinema. My God was it really 31 years ago not a care in the world footloose and free and thought I knew it all. Best decade ever in my lifetime nothing will ever top it brings back so many moments my first job first kiss first everything and brings a tear to my eyes love it love it love it.
Perhaps it is because three out of four of these guys are Christians who understand they get their inspiration from the Almighty God, and that this song is about heaven. None of the streets are named in scripture (eg. Revelation 21).
I didn't see it in the cinema, but the theatrical trailer - featuring the Streets intro - lit the spark that made me a fan. 35 years later, and they're still my favourite band.
U2 and their Joshua Tree masterpiece is an installation of art at a level of magnificence and impact that belongs to the absolute finest crafts of culture ever carried out by humanity. It encapsulates the glorious 1980's and inspired us that were young back then as it continues to tell its story of peace, tolerance, love and beauty into the future. Where the streets have no name is where I would like to greet you all and come to conclusion about all things that are.
I too have listen to u2 all of my life. And I just turned 44yrs couple of weeks ago. This song is fantastic then and is fantastic now. This song should have been on that golden record they sent into space. This song is universal
And this version is, in my opinion, the best. Especially the intro. Gives me chills every time! Just saw you post while I watched again and thought I'd respond! You have great taste in music, Robert!
Soul searching it is......your place on this earth, and the epic sound and lyrics of this song, and the epic talented guys after decades. I myself bought the LP(vinyl) in 1987! Then i was 22 years old windsurfing on the Northsee in Holland.....good vibes and memories...now @ 57 i still listen @ U2 and all there albums...those where the days.
Best version of the best song of all time. Most EPIC intro of all time. The soundtrack of my 18 years!!! Goosebumbs everytime I lisen this version. 35 years later I did a cover!!!
***** The Unforgettable Fire was a transition album. The transition album. The second one, cuz October was the first one. As it was posed to be. All sophomoric ala tradition and shiite.... Achtung Baby was the first assurance album. And not the last. The first of every one since. I don't kno wwhat you were trying to be. BNr what you'd wanted to say.
U2 is my oldest love in music. Bono's voice, Edge's great sound and guitar playing and the solid and original spine of the band with Larry and Adam who are always forgotten... Juts one of the best bands still active that never changed a band member and that was never afraid to take chances. I would love your input on our last video. If you have just 3 minutes to listen and a bit more to comment, that would mean the world to me : ua-cam.com/video/nIzsCppYCYM/v-deo.html
Yeah! So true and the shot of the stadium rim facing towards the stage....just amazing. I remember seeing U2 3 times on The Joshua Tree Tour in the 1980’s. The JT is my favourite album ever and although we’ve all had and heard great music before and since, this Tour and Album sum up a time in my life where I was going from child into adulthood with no commitments on one hand and on the other hand my whole adult life in front of me. Such was the innocence. This brief once in a lifetime time year allowed me to appreciate music as I had never done before or since and by shear coincidence U2 (my all time fav band) released and Toured this amazing album at the same time. All I can say is I was blessed to see them at that time in my life and Thankyou nbn33 for making me remember that today. 🙏🏻
@@skygoose11 I was 17 when the Joshua Tree originally came out and didn’t get to see them on tour, but I did 30 years later in 2017 at Arrowhead in KC. It was surreal, unexplainable hard to believe I was even there.
What a performance from a band in full stride! The good ol' days with not an iphone or a selfie shot to be seen; just people sharing an experience together fully in the moment. The kids these days don't even know what they missed.
Oh how this song can take you back to better days. The Joshua Tree was such a landmark for many of us when it came out. Its the only album I've ever bought on the day it was released. 30 years on when they toured this album, the emotions, that space in time when we were all younger just rolled away for fourty or so glorious minutes. It was a beautiful moment and this track soothed you back all those years. Thank you U2.
This is how to came to be for them , 29 years ago they first conquered the world now they definitely are the most greatest loved band in history, in 1987 this Irish band hit their stride and never looked back
I luv u and be sure to go back to the beginning with Boy. I am 30 now, but fell in love with them at the same age and Boy when I was 14 just hit the spot where I was emotionally. I eventually moved onto their other stuff and I am glad I did.
Spero mi capiate o che riusciate a tradurre: se vi piacciono questi U2 ascoltate Boy, War, The Joshua Tree, TUF, Achtung Baby ma non gli ultimi album che non vi daranno mai l'idea di cosa erano
I live in México. And listening to this... I can easyly go back in time and remember those wonderful 80's with U2 music. Those complete nights hanging around with friends in our 70's volkswagen... drinking and listening U2. Finally in the 90's I got the chance to attend their Vertigo Tour... BEST LIVE CONCERT EVER.... this and many of their songs are real music that goes through my ears and feelings and memories and eveeeeerything.....
wrong decade - Vertigo Tour was 2005 :) and YES it was INCREDIBLE i was at 5 shows - imo though sady it was their LAST true spectacle - theior subsequent tours were great but just didnt have the intimacy and energy of previous tours
The opening is the most fantastic sound and visual of a live song. The red backdrop, the silhouette of the drum riser, Larry counting the band off with his headset, Edge coming in with the strobe light. Pure Gold.
wow thats exactly what ive always felt about it, just never put it into words-the exact words you did, bravo! excellent! you described the incredible moments and opening perfectly, any one that doesn't truly 'feel it' 'appreciate it' 'comprehend it' and so much deeper, just isn't a real U2 fan, which surprisingly, I've met a few cool ones here and there amidst the 'wannabes' its true once a band starts out and gets big and bigger, along with the true fans as flowers, the weeds start to grow and grow until soon, like today, the true U2 fans are a small minority while the bandwagon jumpers, opportunists, wannabes, exploiters, and any and all every kinda weirdo jumps from the woodwork and suddenly its all a mess, I know as a 47 yo guy who lived the 80s, grew up with U2 and all the other awesome bands, before all this shit of today-the internet and technology -smart ass phones etc all of it has turned people into assholes, I totally miss the seventies and eighties............people born around oh, eighties, maybe, nineties and definitely in the 2000s are nothing more than mindless gobs with no hearts or souls who have shit for parents which is why they are they way they are, if they even had one or two parents at all, people today can't do math manually, they have to have a calculator, shit, people can't wipe their own ass today to save their life..........if i approached a so called U2 fan and asked them a question about U2, I could tell how long they've 'been a fan' I wouldn't mind if they got the answer wrong, if they were a cool person who enjoys U2 thats cool, but most so called U2 fans-american ones suck-foreign fans are the best, most U2 so called fans would not only not know the answer to my question about U2, but also are assholes and wouldn't care, I cant stand wannabe pricks that care nothing for shit that just plain don't care care..............caring and in depth people are so rare these days
Im Kinofilm "Rattle and Hum" ist das ja der Moment des Wechels von Schwarz/Weiss auf Farbe. Perfekt umgesetzt und im Kino war es damals wie auf einem Konzert. Alle aufgesprungen und voll mitgemacht! Genial!!!
Masterpiece. Have listened more than 1000 times since I was 12. No words can put this into how this makes someone feel. It is and will always be a masterpiece
U2 is my oldest love in music. Bono's voice, Edge's great sound and guitar playing and the solid and original spine of the band with Larry and Adam who are always forgotten... Just one of the best bands still active that never changed a band member and that was never afraid to take chances. I would love your input on our cover of their great Ordinary Love song. If you have just 3 minutes to listen and a bit more to comment, that would mean the world to me. Keep rockin' : ua-cam.com/video/yiUkR6YUNgU/v-deo.html
Every time I listen to this songs I get flash backs to good times, bad times, hundreds if not hundreds of thousands of miles to the...80's, 90's, to infinity...I can't help but think of how profound this song is cuz at the end it all turns to rust...
I Remeber buying the Joshua tree cassette. I begged my parents to buy it for me. It was the first rock tape I had ever purchased. As soon as I had it in my dad's car we played it. First song, Where the streets have no name, it was the most magical moment in my life. Still to this day whenever I hear the song it's just as magical.
As a 15 year old boy (now 36) watching this for the first time on my dad's VHS tape was profoundly powerful. Watching Edge do his thing was a massive inspiration to a young guitarist. It's still amazing to watch this.
The Rattle and Hum VHS got me into them. Bought it, watched it, rewound it and watched again right away. This, Exit, Bullet and Silver and Gold bring me to my knees.
I was there! A Fine Arts senior at Arizona State! tickets were only $5.00 for that show! One of the best times of my life. A.few months before they played in the ASU basketball arena. The night before the show they were rehearsing and a few of us students were hanging outside listening when out comes Adam Clayton and signs a few autographs for the 10 or so of us. I.lost that autograph.
I have been listening to this song on and off since it was released in the late 80's. I never get tired of it and always get chills when I hear it. I was lucky enough to have played with a band in the 90's and we did this song live...thankfully we did it justice. At first, I was reluctant to have us play it as to me the song is untouchable. Fortunately we pulled it off. Most importantly is the message of the song. In the world of rock music, the song stands alone. This is U2's masterpiece as far as I am concerned. There are no street names in Heaven...
Gd. That is powerful!!!!!I I was there, both nights. ASU. Stadium. Critical times. Drove 4 hrs. From a Native reservation in a used vehicle . made it back, just barely. Ohh and we met them at kupd. God reigned that night.
Was there ever a better song to open a concert than this? No way!! It made the tour and every show. It's like the first time you heard the album you knew this would open the show.... and now they're redoing this tour. Dream come true!
Edge came up with the song. His mission was "If I were a U2 fan, what kind of song would I want to hear the most?" That's when he came up with the main riff and danced around when he got it. The other members were unsure because they couldn't figure out how to arrange it but thank God they got it.

I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song.
I have said this for years. This is the greatest love song ever written.
We do.
Exactly a Master one of the best songs of all times
I WANNA GO THERE WITH U !! that last line is not on the studio version of the song
This band was the best band EVER at this precise moment in time
Unreal
best intro to a song ever
the drummer clacking his sticks, omg and u know in a few secs The Edge is gonna riff that guitar, omg so powerful
Thank you U2 to give us this song. My dad passed away yesterdayand it was his favorite😭😭
My deepest and most heartfelt condolences to you. I know what it's like to lose a father. If your dad thought this was a great song, it tells me that he was a wonderful, and amazing father. You are lucky to have had him in your life, and I mourn with you at his loss. Remember him with love.
My son passed at the age of 25 ... this song feels like a hint of what ethereal music could be ... with gradual entry in 6/4 time, transitioning to 4/4 time, then returning to 6/4 time at the end with the words "its all I can do" ... the span of a life in this crazy world, and the reentry into eternity with calm and hypnotic waltz-like ease ... tears every time
So sorry about your son
Still amazing in 2024
this video will be powerful 40 yrs from now
One of the best intros of all time
33 years and i still feel the chill down my spine
November 14, 1987. Oakland Arena. That’s where I had this experience too.
Amen bro!!
Oh yeah !
Another would be the beginning of Prince’s Let’s Go Crazy
Me too
Heard this at 11 years old for the first time. 46 years old now,and no song has given me the feel this song gives me everytime. There is nothing better or anything alike, well, maybe, The Blackout, it comes close. Love U2 4ever.

No tears, no sadness.
Just a great band playing great music.
No so fast man!! Lsls.

After 34 years this song/video still brings tears to my eyes. 80’s the greatest time to be alive and best music era.
Me too! I love singing it OUT LOUD and I can NEVER make it through with out choking up... that guitar just sounds like rain.... heavenly....
You got that right
Agree totally in that one!
We were and are lucky to of lived through that era and the greats, u2, Bowie, queen
Those were the best of times. Everything about the 80's was epic. And unforgettable fire that never will burn out.
The best start (or encore) to a concert ever! Rattle and Hum set is epic.
No one IRL understands how epic this is. I love coming here and seeing the comments from my fellow U2 fans who get it, who feel it, like I do. I send my love to each of you, as you take flight to the place where our souls gather to sing, dance and play along. Namaste. 🙏💗

And love also 😍❤
This is, beyond the shaddow of a doubt, THE GREATEST INTRO TO ANY SONG EVER IN THE HISTORY OF ROCK'N ROLL!
Classic songs such as this one have no time boundaries. "Streets" was great in '87, '97, '07, '17 and will still be great in '27!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMEN
BROTHER
AMEN
TIL.MY LAST BREATH AND BEYOND
It will be great in 2087 and 2187. 2024 is the bicentennial of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony. Great music endures.
Proper music.
Seeing Rattle and Hum at the cinema in '88 made me a U2 fan.
This intro and concert sealed the deal :)
I didn't see it in the cinema, but the theatrical trailer - featuring the Streets intro - lit the spark that made me a fan. 35 years later, and they're still my favourite band.
U2 and their Joshua Tree masterpiece is an installation of art at a level of magnificence and impact that belongs to the absolute finest crafts of culture ever carried out by humanity.
It encapsulates the glorious 1980's and inspired us that were young back then as it continues to tell its story of peace, tolerance, love and beauty into the future.
Where the streets have no name is where I would like to greet you all and come to conclusion about all things that are.
I will meet you there! 🙏💗
Only the Edge can strum that signature sound of U2 🎸
The 1/8th echo
I too have listen to u2 all of my life. And I just turned 44yrs couple of weeks ago. This song is fantastic then and is fantastic now. This song should have been on that golden record they sent into space. This song is universal

Me too on both. Turned 44 Dec 21
The Edge gets this sound live from just ONE guitar!
Edge’s signature guitar is like clarion that calls us. It calls us to care, to feel, to touch a greater good within ourselves….
Thanks U2 ... unforgettable the fire you brought...
this is why the edge is one of the greatest guitarists ever...the intro is magic!!!!!!
The Edge sas it all
His Tone!!!
@@matthewmp111 this is not just tone....he creates landscapes.....
I've always loved Edge's playing, pure class.
Same feelin in 2020
I was there! Still like yesterday! U2 so many good memories.✝️🙏❤️
This song is outstanding! I still enjoy listening to there music and I'm 62 years old!
The sound of how a guitar should be born!
Soul searching it is......your place on this earth, and the epic sound and lyrics of this song, and the epic talented guys after decades. I myself bought the LP(vinyl) in 1987! Then i was 22 years old windsurfing on the Northsee in Holland.....good vibes and memories...now @ 57 i still listen @ U2 and all there albums...those where the days.
U2 at the absolute top of their game.
ZooTV was their best tour ever, not Joshua Tree
Best version of the best song of all time.
Most EPIC intro of all time.
The soundtrack of my 18 years!!!
Goosebumbs everytime I lisen this version.
35 years later I did a cover!!!
Don't care what you think about U2... this performance is fantastic.
Everyone gets old. But damn, they were young and on top of the world when this was recorded.
***** The Unforgettable Fire was a transition album. The transition album. The second one, cuz October was the first one. As it was posed to be. All sophomoric ala tradition and shiite....

Adam Guitar I surely will, sir.
Jay most people love them as they represent all that’s good in the world and have done for 40 years
A touchstone for all us '87 ASU freshmen. It was December and cold.....when the red lights went up everyone stood on their chairs. Goosebumps.

@@skygoose11 I was 17 when the Joshua Tree originally came out and didn’t get to see them on tour, but I did 30 years later in 2017 at Arrowhead in KC. It was surreal, unexplainable hard to believe I was even there.
Yes. The intro. The feel. The time. The stadium overhead. The crowd roaring. All one.
Yes! I just saw them for the first time a few years ago. Joshua Tree reunion tour? Don’t recall the name. Goosebumps!
Couldn't agree more.the greatest band of all time 💚🇮🇪☘️🤘
What a performance from a band in full stride! The good ol' days with not an iphone or a selfie shot to be seen; just people sharing an experience together fully in the moment. The kids these days don't even know what they missed.
Yes have emphaty for our young.☯️
Best Intro of the world
Oh how this song can take you back to better days. The Joshua Tree was such a landmark for many of us when it came out. Its the only album I've ever bought on the day it was released. 30 years on when they toured this album, the emotions, that space in time when we were all younger just rolled away for fourty or so glorious minutes. It was a beautiful moment and this track soothed you back all those years. Thank you U2.
So many videos on the Internet. So many GOOD videos on the Internet. But here it is, the very BEST of them all. A masterpiece.
the greatest rock band of all time
This is how to came to be for them , 29 years ago they first conquered the world now they definitely are the most greatest loved band in history, in 1987 this Irish band hit their stride and never looked back
yes
My all time favorite song. Period.
The cinematography on this is utterly amazing.
Thanks Jordan Cronenweth, DP for Bladerunner 🔥
I am 14 years old. And all my life I listen to U2
WOW
SO AWESOME TO SEE YOUNG PEOPLE LOVING U2
i’m 15 and love them
I luv u and be sure to go back to the beginning with Boy. I am 30 now, but fell in love with them at the same age and Boy when I was 14 just hit the spot where I was emotionally. I eventually moved onto their other stuff and I am glad I did.
@@fishstuffgames3824 I'm also 15 and I am obsessed
Spero mi capiate o che riusciate a tradurre: se vi piacciono questi U2 ascoltate Boy, War, The Joshua Tree, TUF, Achtung Baby ma non gli ultimi album che non vi daranno mai l'idea di cosa erano
I could listen to that intro all day.....So beautiful
victoria pedder Lello u2 musica straordinaria :-) :-)
Same here girl
It is super
❤️
You should check out stars of the lid
The best start to a song ever just magic. Edge you're a legend and such an underrated guitarist. Simply brilliant.
Agreed
The intro to this song since I was a little kid in 7th grade has NEVER not givin me chills
I live in México. And listening to this... I can easyly go back in time and remember those wonderful 80's with U2 music. Those complete nights hanging around with friends in our 70's volkswagen... drinking and listening U2. Finally in the 90's I got the chance to attend their Vertigo Tour... BEST LIVE CONCERT EVER.... this and many of their songs are real music that goes through my ears and feelings and memories and eveeeeerything.....
wrong decade - Vertigo Tour was 2005 :) and YES it was INCREDIBLE i was at 5 shows - imo though sady it was their LAST true spectacle - theior subsequent tours were great but just didnt have the intimacy and energy of previous tours
Mesicanz be like Oh wrong year?
Well I was stupid at maff 🤣
#vivau2
The opening is the most fantastic sound and visual of a live song. The red backdrop, the silhouette of the drum riser, Larry counting the band off with his headset, Edge coming in with the strobe light. Pure Gold.
wow thats exactly what ive always felt about it, just never put it into words-the exact words you did, bravo! excellent! you described the incredible moments and opening perfectly, any one that doesn't truly 'feel it' 'appreciate it' 'comprehend it' and so much deeper, just isn't a real U2 fan, which surprisingly, I've met a few cool ones here and there amidst the 'wannabes' its true once a band starts out and gets big and bigger, along with the true fans as flowers, the weeds start to grow and grow until soon, like today, the true U2 fans are a small minority while the bandwagon jumpers, opportunists, wannabes, exploiters, and any and all every kinda weirdo jumps from the woodwork and suddenly its all a mess, I know as a 47 yo guy who lived the 80s, grew up with U2 and all the other awesome bands, before all this shit of today-the internet and technology -smart ass phones etc all of it has turned people into assholes, I totally miss the seventies and eighties............people born around oh, eighties, maybe, nineties and definitely in the 2000s are nothing more than mindless gobs with no hearts or souls who have shit for parents which is why they are they way they are, if they even had one or two parents at all, people today can't do math manually, they have to have a calculator, shit, people can't wipe their own ass today to save their life..........if i approached a so called U2 fan and asked them a question about U2, I could tell how long they've 'been a fan' I wouldn't mind if they got the answer wrong, if they were a cool person who enjoys U2 thats cool, but most so called U2 fans-american ones suck-foreign fans are the best, most U2 so called fans would not only not know the answer to my question about U2, but also are assholes and wouldn't care, I cant stand wannabe pricks that care nothing for shit that just plain don't care care..............caring and in depth people are so rare these days
John Doe , I've been a U2 fan since Boy, the early stuff is so much better
c3-8ate best intro ever
Yes, my favourite live version. It is all in the intro and the mood.
Trevor Robertson the Joshua tree and achtung baby albums are better than boy and October you goof
Simply the best of the best 😱😱🤩🤩😀😀😀👍👍👍
Im Kinofilm "Rattle and Hum" ist das ja der Moment des Wechels von Schwarz/Weiss auf Farbe. Perfekt umgesetzt und im Kino war es damals wie auf einem Konzert. Alle aufgesprungen und voll mitgemacht! Genial!!!
And the edge plays a flawless performance in this song. Beautiful!!!
This song makes you feel like you can fly.
Perfect description.
Angels will get called back to Heaven only if they believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Me too
IT'S MAGIC!,
Yes it does!!
Masterpiece. Have listened more than 1000 times since I was 12. No words can put this into how this makes someone feel. It is and will always be a masterpiece
I was 16 1987 great year great memories peace😊
One of the BEST SONGS from U2..💎💎💎💎💎👑
It still is a musical legend, never dated still sounds fresh at 36 years old now, where has time gone….
No word to describe this intro.
If i had to put a word, simply Outstanding.
There 're no words man, no wordq at all ... just sit down and listen 😍❤
I want this played when I'm cremated. Lol
Best song, best atmosphere, best band in the world!
Love the long intro classic
Absolutely U2 at their peak...they were so powerful and charismatic...
U2 is my oldest love in music. Bono's voice, Edge's great sound and guitar playing and the solid and original spine of the band with Larry and Adam who are always forgotten... Just one of the best bands still active that never changed a band member and that was never afraid to take chances. I would love your input on our cover of their great Ordinary Love song. If you have just 3 minutes to listen and a bit more to comment, that would mean the world to me. Keep rockin' : ua-cam.com/video/yiUkR6YUNgU/v-deo.html
Every time I listen to this songs I get flash backs to good times, bad times, hundreds if not hundreds of thousands of miles to the...80's, 90's, to infinity...I can't help but think of how profound this song is cuz at the end it all turns to rust...
Literally, there is no way to describe Larry Mullen, Jr.'s playing other than mesmerizing.
My all time favorite song, this right here!
My favorite song of all time too.
Saw them in Pittsburgh in 92 on my Birthday. No words. 🔥🔥🔥
I Remeber buying the Joshua tree cassette. I begged my parents to buy it for me. It was the first rock tape I had ever purchased. As soon as I had it in my dad's car we played it. First song, Where the streets have no name, it was the most magical moment in my life. Still to this day whenever I hear the song it's just as magical.
As a 15 year old boy (now 36) watching this for the first time on my dad's VHS tape was profoundly powerful. Watching Edge do his thing was a massive inspiration to a young guitarist. It's still amazing to watch this.
The Rattle and Hum VHS got me into them. Bought it, watched it, rewound it and watched again right away. This, Exit, Bullet and Silver and Gold bring me to my knees.
Best intro ever ever i could listen to it alone over and over timeless magic from U2
Search for Trace Bundy guitar cover of this song on UA-cam.
This is why U2 is the best band
Uno delle più belle canzoni rock in assoluto ! L introduzione con chitarra, basso , batteria e' un capolavoro ! Emozione allo stato puro ....grazie u2
35 years ago, December 19, 1987. I saw U2 at Sundevil stadium in Tempe Arizona. I saw the only band that mattered.
I was there! A Fine Arts senior at Arizona State! tickets were only $5.00 for that show! One of the best times of my life. A.few months before they played in the ASU basketball arena. The night before the show they were rehearsing and a few of us students were hanging outside listening when out comes Adam Clayton and signs a few autographs for the 10 or so of us. I.lost that autograph.
I have been listening to this song on and off since it was released in the late 80's. I never get tired of it and always get chills when I hear it. I was lucky enough to have played with a band in the 90's and we did this song live...thankfully we did it justice. At first, I was reluctant to have us play it as to me the song is untouchable. Fortunately we pulled it off. Most importantly is the message of the song. In the world of rock music, the song stands alone. This is U2's masterpiece as far as I am concerned. There are no street names in Heaven...
This song comes alive when it's played in concert. I wait for this one song.
God bless my brother Blair, never forgotten.
This is the best U2 song. period.
They’re masters at their instruments. They can play at such a high level that their live shows are better than the actual record. Awesomeness.✨🙂
Listen to Rush…..
They're like RUSH in that regard, masters of their instruments
this movie had amazing cinematography
This guys have change my Life ❤️ u2 thanks u2 the fantastic Four ❤️
One kick ass song man. I love songs that kinda grab you by heart. There's a lot of em out there. And this is one of em.
I have never witnessed a more dramatic concert opening than that night in Sun Devil Stadium. I doubt I ever will. So glad the video is available.
I'm 18 years old right now and I am from Venezuela. I'd wish to meet them, U2 is my childhood.
felt that, same age as you and i've been listening to them since i was like 2 or 3 with my dad
It’s 2023, this is incredible, goosebumps.
Where the Streets Have No Name ist the song of my Life. That's all I can say.
Amen
Same..
For me too man !!! i don’t know how many times i listen this song . just fucking amazing!!!
The great rock band in the world
Best song ever ❤️
Yes, no dude.
Gd. That is powerful!!!!!I I was there, both nights. ASU. Stadium. Critical times. Drove 4 hrs. From a Native reservation in a used vehicle . made it back, just barely. Ohh and we met them at kupd. God reigned that night.
Still gives me goosebumbs after all these years. What an epic performance.
me, too... I actually weep.
Best song of our teen days 💖
2023 and this song remains fresh and emotive as ever. Simply a classic masterpiece, U2 forever.
One of the best songs ever written... ever.
Was there ever a better song to open a concert than this? No way!! It made the tour and every show. It's like the first time you heard the album you knew this would open the show.... and now they're redoing this tour. Dream come true!
Edge came up with the song. His mission was "If I were a U2 fan, what kind of song would I want to hear the most?" That's when he came up with the main riff and danced around when he got it. The other members were unsure because they couldn't figure out how to arrange it but thank God they got it.
Rez Wow never heard that. Awesome. Yes you’re right thank god they got it and produced the greatest tour in history.
Greatest nand ever!!! I was there
U2 is my oldest love in music. Bono's voice, Edge's great sound and guitar playing and the solid and original spine of the band with Larry and Adam who are always forgotten... Juts one of the best bands still active that never changed a band member and that was never afraid to take chances. I would love your input on our last video. If you have just 3 minutes to listen and a bit more to comment, that would mean the world to me : ua-cam.com/video/nIzsCppYCYM/v-deo.html
Miami Florida 1989, Amazing concert 4 hour concert, JOSHUA TREE/ RATTLE N HUM! STILL SENDS CHILLS
One of my all-time favorite Songs. Edge is heavily underrated as a guitarist!! The guy is great.
